This study evaluates the suitability of mangrove ecotourism in Bontang Mangrove Park (BMP) Saleba, East Kalimantan, by integrating ecological parameters with social insights. Key indicators such as mangrove thickness, density, species diversity, and biota associations were analyzed alongside tidal dynamics and community perceptions. Using the Importance Value Index (IVI) and Tourism Suitability Index (IKW), results show that BMP Saleba’s mangrove ecosystem is classified as “very suitable” for ecotourism, with Rhizophora mucronata dominating across growth stages and supporting high biodiversity. Dense vegetation, stable tidal conditions, and favorable substrate characteristics further reinforce ecological resilience. Combined with community recognition of mangroves as ecological and cultural assets, these findings highlight BMP Saleba’s readiness for sustainable ecotourism development, contributing to conservation strategies and local economic opportunities.
